Might want to mention how blkfront stores it as well. It looks
to be using 'llist' instead of 'list'? Any particular reason?

Could you include in the comments what the size (bytes) you expect it to be?
If that would require you re-doing some tests - then don't worry - but
I figured you have some notes scribbled away that have the exact values
down.

Just for sanity - you did check this with blkfronts that did not have
persistent grants enabled, right?
